  • An Underutilized Orphan Tuber Crop—Chinese Yam : a Review
    Planta (2020) 252:58 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-020-03458-3 REVIEW An underutilized orphan tuber crop—Chinese yam : a review Janina Epping1 · Natalie Laibach2 Received: 29 March 2020 / Accepted: 11 September 2020 / Published online: 21 September 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Main conclusion The diversifcation of food crops can improve our diets and address the efects of climate change, and in this context the orphan crop Chinese yam shows signifcant potential as a functional food. Abstract As the efects of climate change become increasingly visible even in temperate regions, there is an urgent need to diversify our crops in order to address hunger and malnutrition. This has led to the re-evaluation of neglected species such as Chinese yam (Dioscorea polystachya Turcz.), which has been cultivated for centuries in East Asia as a food crop and as a widely-used ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. The tubers are rich in nutrients, but also contain bioactive metabolites such as resistant starches, steroidal sapogenins (like diosgenin), the storage protein dioscorin, and mucilage polysaccharides. These health-promoting products can help to prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and disorders of the gut microbiome. Whereas most edible yams are tropical species, Chinese yam could be cultivated widely in Europe and other temperate regions to take advantage of its nutritional and bioactive properties. However, this is a laborious process and agronomic knowledge is fragmented. The underground tubers contain most of the starch, but are vulnerable to breaking and thus difcult to harvest. Breeding to improve tuber shape is complex given the dioecious nature of the species, the mostly vegetative reproduction via bulbils, and the presence of more than 100 chromosomes.

  • Chinese Yam Alert! Dioscorea Oppositifolia L
    THE NATURAL AREAS ASSOCIATION ISSUES Chinese Yam Alert! Dioscorea oppositifolia L. (syn. D. batatas Decne.) is a herbaceous perennial vine in the yam family native to Asia. Two common names for this species are CHINESE YAM and CINNAMON VINE. It was introduced into the United States for ornamental value and also as a potential food source. Chinese yam is widespread throughout the eastern United States and ranges from Vermont south to Georgia and west to Oklahoma and Texas. There are several characteristics that make identification of this species fairly easy: Stems: The vines twine from left to right (counterclockwise) and are angled. Leaves: The leaf shape is variable, but the two most common shapes are hastate and ovate. Leaf arrangement is usually opposite, but the upper nodes may be alternate. There is usually a reddish- purple color at the junction of the petiole and blade. Bulbils: Aerial tubers, called bulbils, are usually present during the summer months, June-September. Bulbils are produced in the leaf axis and resemble miniature potatoes. Flowers: Produced from June-August, are white, in spikes, and often have a cinnamon fragrance. Habit: The plants often form dense mat-like colonies and are most often observed along roadsides, at old homesites and fencerows, and in alluvial soil along streams. Chinese yam has the potential to become a major pest plant in the United States due to its rapid growth and prolific reproduction. This species is considered to be highly invasive and can infest even the most pristine habitats, particularly along riparian corridors. Vines begin growth in April from large, underground, vertically oriented tubers.

Yams were extracted in water and the extract was analyzed by HPLC. The expression of C2C12 myotubes differentiation and mitochondrial biogenesis regulators were determined by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR or Western blot. The glucose levels and total ATP contents were determined by glucose consumption, glucose uptake and ATP assays, respectively. Treatment with yam extract (1 mg/mL) and allantoin (0.2 and 0.5 mM) significantly increased of MyHC expression compared with non-treated myotubes.

Yam starch was digested by a-amylase and gluco- Accepted: September 23, 2010 amylase for different lengths of time, respectively, and two different enzymatic hydrolysis results were compared. The most notable phenomenon revealed by SEM after a-amylase hydrolysis was the formation of the cavum in the center of the starch granules, while after gluco-amylase hydrolysis, the outer layer of the granules was peeled off and then some granules even broke into pieces. The XRD of the two enzyme hydrolyzed starches revealed the crystal type of the starch changed from typical C-type XRD pattern to the representative A-type pattern in the process of enzymatic hydrolysis. The above results also demonstrated that the partially B-type polymorph was more easily degraded than A-type. The thermal result showed that the modified yam starches by both enzymes exhibited increased peak gelatinization temperatures (Tp) and decreased gelatinization enthalpy (DH).

  • Pragmatic Analysis of English Fuzzy Language in International Business Negotiation Ling-Ling ZUO and Ying HE Ningbo Dahongying University, Ningbo, China
    2016 International Conference on Education, Training and Management Innovation (ETMI 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-395-3 Pragmatic Analysis of English Fuzzy Language in International Business Negotiation Ling-ling ZUO and Ying HE Ningbo Dahongying University, Ningbo, China Keywords: International business negotiation, Fuzzy language, Pragmatic analysis. Abstract. This thesis aims to lead negotiators to pay more attention to use fuzzy language and put forward three strategies for negotiators to use fuzzy language in business negotiation following the cooperative principle and politeness principle. The thesis proves its importance in business negotiation by theoretical analysis and showing a series of examples. The author provides some strategies for negotiators and guides them to negotiate in international business negotiation well such as ambiguity, euphemism and so on. Sometimes, negotiators have to violate the maxims to gain a better result. The appropriate appliance of fuzzy language can relive the tension in business negotiation, being accurate and flexible, and improving the efficiency. The innovation of this paper is from the practical application of fuzzy language to better negotiation. Introduction Nowadays, with the development of economy, the communication between countries becomes closer and closer. The foreign trades are becoming more and more frequent. In order to integrate into the globalization quickly, people must pay attention to international business negotiation in the foreign trade. Business negotiation is a basic form of communication, which plays an important role in the foreign trade. Business negotiation requires negotiators not only know the rules, laws and foreign trade business very well, but also have negotiation skills. However, in real business negotiations, accurate and clear information may put one party in a worse situation.
